American Truck Simulator/Wheel and pedals
I've been addicted to this game for quite some time now. Finally getting rid of my glass L desk for a wooden/metal frame desk that I can clamp a wheel to. I've been looking into the Logitech G29 wheel and pedals and wonder if anyone has any experience with this setup on Linux. Looking for any type of feedback but the $199 is my price range limit really. I run Arch Linux and sometimes play in VR but mostly care about desktop usage.
Main questions are how easy is it to get this wheel set up and force feedback working? Do you use a different wheel on Linux and if so which one in the $200 price range (must include pedals)? Also for the G29 how easy and viable is it to clamp and unclamp? I only have room for one setup so I'd be removing it while not playing any driving games.
Thanks in advance!

OpenRGB Alternatives
Hi, I'm a new linux user (arch btw), and I want to control the argb fans i have in my pc. I tried OpenRGB, but it just wouldn't detect my fans. I tried again after a couple hours and all of a sudden my pc stops displaying anything on my screen. I try to reboot and my motherboard lights get stuck at dram. I had to reinstall my ram sticks and I booted fine. I did this whole process twice and after some research, came to the conclusion that it is OpenRGB that is causing ram issues. I hate looking at the rainbow puke inside my pc and was wondering if there are OpenRGB alternatives I can use to configure my fans.
Thanks for any help!

[Mint 21.3] Dead by Daylight crashes upon joining a match
OS: Linux Mint 21.3
Proton version: GE-Proton10-27 (I've tried others too, but they either didn't manage to boot up the game or were laggy as hell within the menu whilst still crashing upon joining a match)
Now that I force this version of Proton, the game boots up very quickly and runs smooth in the menu, although when it's time to load up an actual match, my screen goes fully black for about half a minute before crashing (there is some sound coming out of the game though, maybe the loading screen).
Before, I was getting the game's crash report screen but now it just kills the process instantly without prompting me anything. I ran Steam from console to get some info there and I uploaded two crashes on Pastebin - https://pastebin.com/RwMwxxLY
edit: Could that be related to Vulkan? If so, what's the fix? GPU: GTX 750 | Drivers Version: 580.95.05
edit2: Tried running the game with "PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1 %command%" and it froze during the initial start up and prompted error: "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running.". The GPU has 1gb of VRAM - the game ran okay on Windows, though.

Steam Link with Linux Host Computer
So I am having an issue with the use of Steam Link. My host rig running Linux Mint and is connected to my router via Ethernet and I am trying to use Steam Link on a laptop (also Linux) and my phone but it nether one can find the host computer. My desktop (host) is on and Steam is open and games are installed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have searched online to see if I am missing any steps but I already have the settings within Steam to allow remote play. Is there a bug I am unaware of or is there something I am missing. I promise, I would not post a question here if I didn't already troubleshoot and search online.
For more details, I am running Linux Mint 22.2 on my host and Steam is installed via the software center.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

EA and removing Proton support from Battlefield games
This is a bit late but a year ago I bought Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 2042 on Steam. I had read the protondb reviews which said that they worked on linux. Great! they were like $3 and $5 on sale. I was halfway through the singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 1 when EA pushed an update which borked linux support, now both games can no longer run. I wasn't even playing multiplayer, it's absurd that they would revoke access to the "offline", singleplayer experience. I couldn't get a refund since it was more than 2 weeks after the purchase. The only reason I'm not that mad is because I bought them for so cheap (imagine if I had paid the full $40 and $60!!)

Older Need for Speed titles?
Please note, still new to Linux but have managed to get a few modern-ish games to work (UG2, Carbon, MW) but struggle to get older Win9x titles to work. Either they don't work, or no controller support. Lutris has some community scripts for games like High Stakes and Hout Pursuit, but not having luck getting these working with controller (HP) or working at all (HS).
Anyone have luck getting these fully working?
Really loved these games back in the day and would like to take advantage of modern hardware to make these look great again.
Using Bazzite btw.
TIA

Newbie here, what's the best emulation app/software that you guys use (specifics I'm searching I'll mention them in post), and how do I install them and ROMS?
The systems/catalogues I'm looking forward to emulate are: SNES, N64, PS1/PS2, Wii/Wii U, and Switch 1, so I'll read your replies throught the day and see your suggestions, thank you!
P.S: I'm on Linux Mint

Distro Question
So I am a new Linux user who just dropped Windows 11 finally. I picked Linux Mint and have been having a good time with it. The only issue I have run into was issues with my Focusrite but I think I got those squared away.
I run the most stable Mesa using Kisak and everything seems great. However, I see lots of people say that Mint sucks and to move over from a Debian distro to a Fedora based distro like Noboro or Bazzite. I also see a couple people recommend Cachy-OS, but I don’t know if I am ready for Arch Linux. Lol
So the question is, as a noobie in Linux, is mint that bad and should I just move over to a Fedora based distro, or is mint fine?
I appreciate any and all comments/information provided!

Rockstar launcher stuck at "prepping red dead redemption"
I downloaded the launcher through Lutris and it works, i dind't have any login errors or other stuff that i saw some people talking about here. However, when I try to download red dead redemption 2, it keeps "processing" I left it downloading for a few hours and the download really doesn't start. What it can be?

Is there a point switching from an laptop with an RTX 4050 to a laptop with an RX 7600S?
I know that on Windows they are quite comparable, but since i'm now using linux 100% of the time, will it be any better to switch to a laptop with an AMD GPU?
